Museum Director Lizzie Dunford said it was a " privilege" to show The Duchess around The House .
During The Visit , Camilla, an avid Austen reader, viewed the drawing room, where the author read aloud from her very own copy of Pride and Prejudice The Day before its publication in 1813.

In The Scene from the 1995 series, Mr Darcy, played by Firth, emerged from a swim in a lake with his shirt dripping wet.
" But he's not in it, that's a bit sad, " Camilla joked After being shown the shirt.
Ms Dunford said: " It was a delight to show Her Royal Highness around The House as she is such an avid reader and supporter of literacy.
